Steven Adams has said no to joining the Tall Blacks at the World Cup.

It's a shame but he seems to have his mind made up for the time being

@Crucial said in Boxing Thread:

None of these guys will have faced something like Fury though. He was simply toying around switching stance, dropping his hands. I very much doubt if AJ would last long with him at all.
That bit against the ropes where he dodged four punches was Incredible. Ali himself would have been proud of that movement.

He put on quite a show, and did most of it with a wide grin on his face

A poor red zone exit

I call them "Blexits".

It's where you want to leave but just don't go anywhere.

I think they've checked out already.....

@sparky They should send Akira to Wellington. We will make him into the player he was meant to be

Wonder if that trade makes Kawhi choose Toronto over the Clippers (that and the Raptors have the best sports science department in the league). He can rule the East while the Lakers destroy the West.

I won't be surprised if Leonard stays. They love him, and he wants nothing more than to be loved

He also wants a team that will let him only play 50-60 regular season games and a media market which will allow him to be quiet and reserved and LA will allow neither.

Yeah. I know he was born and raised in California. But San Antonio and Toronto seem to suit his personality better. He is loved unconditionally in Toronto. It will not be so smooth in LA

Rumours going about kemba walker.

They don't need a ball dominant PG. But I'm not sure I want them to give Walker the max. If he is willing to take a little less they can spend on more shooters, like JJ

The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks – including the No. 4 overall in 2019 Draft.

Lakers still have room to sign another max free agent. One super team ends (Warriors) and the next super team is born (Lakers).

So a young trio of Zion, Lonzo and Ingram. Could be like the Mavs trio of Mashburn, Kidd and Jackson - go awesome for one season until they all start vying for the same limelight and then one of them sleeps with his team mates girlfriend.....

If they play their cards right NO are set up for 10 years. LA will compete for the title at the perfect time, because GSW will be out of the picture for a year, and the whole league is wide open. Would you bet against a team of LBJ, AD and say Kyrie Irving?

Most importantly they get to keep Kyle Kuzma. They should still have another slot for a max player, it's going to have to be a free agent because I don't think there's anything left to trade. They need shooters too so they should make a pitch to a guy like JJ Reddick

That's almost as farked up as this
